Midland Summer Plans

I will NOT wear makeup during the week days. Won’t do it. Its summer in Texas. It will be hotter than hades. There is simply no point.

I hope to paint Isla’s room, Gemma’s room, the sink niche in the guest room, and the master bedroom.

I want to go to the library. A LOT. Oh I cannot wait to be near a library with a lot of English books! Books, books, books, books, books!!!!!

We will be hanging out by the pool almost every morning.

We will take at least one mini road trip to a West Texas destination, I’m thinking Balmorhea State Park...

We will start working on reducing coca cola consumption to 1x per week, chocolate and/or sweets to 1x per day, and focus on eating light-to-heavy during the day and get meat dishes down to 3x per week. This will happen gradually…

I want to figure out swim lessons for the girls and get them enrolled.

I want to start connecting to the Reece’s Rainbow community in Midland to figure how I can help and get involved – there have been FOUR adoptions through RR ; I actually met my first RR former orphan during our house hunting trip – it was amazing!!!! I am also hoping to get Isla involved too. She would be the cutest little advocate.

I can’t wait to hang out with Nick and mines parents!

I can’t wait to have my nephew come and visit! We are going to have fun.

I want to focus on reading more for pleasure, and not just parenting/religious books… although I do get pleasure out of those, I guess what I really mean is return to my first love – fiction.

Get the reading niche in the great room figured out.

Get Isla’s reading tower updated and the stairs and railings repaired and up to code.

FIND A CHURCH!

Focus on cutting down all TV viewing, but especially Isla’s. Preferably get it down to not at all for her other than family movie night, but we will see…

Oh and start a family movie night!

My summer officially begins in 11 days when we close on our new house… I am so excited!!!
